Hi,

You can find a set of correct Euro headlights for the 230SL at this link – the price is definitely reasonable compared to other suppliers:

For reference, SLS offers similar headlights but at a significantly higher price.

Hope that helps – good luck with your project!

Don't you need to get lenses cut to project light properly for driving on the left side of the road?  Confirm with the Forum if I'm correct (do a search) and then confirm with vendors what they are selling.

You can get either a left or right hand light glass.  The shapes of the lens pushing light left or right. I guess it depends where you are likely to be night driving, UK or Europe.


Here in Australia to register the car you would need the left bias light glasses in both LH and RH drive cars.
